The Birmingham Genealogical Society was organized March 15, 1959. It was organized exclusively for educational and research purposes, and to foster preservation of genealogical and historical material. We are located in Jefferson County, Alabama, USA.

Marvin Clemons and Lyle Key have published a new book called “Birmingham Rails“. It consists of 280 pages of historical narrative, entertaining personal essays, detailed maps, and richly detailed color and black & white photos, many published for the first time.

Mr. Clemons is our guest speaker and will present a program about the history of Birmingham Railroads. He will have slides to show and he will give a wonderful presentation that will entertain everyone.

Note: Mr. Clemons was originally scheduled to speak at our January 2008 meeting, but had to cancel at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.
